I Have Called You Friends John 15:9-17
No longer do I call you servants, for the servant does not know what his master is doing, but I have called you friends, for all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you. -John 15:15
Friendship starts with God As the father has loved…John 15-9
We need friends because we are created in God’s image Then the Lord God said, “it is not good that the man should be alone; I will make him a helper fit for him.”….Genesis 2:18
A friend lets you in No longer do I call you servants….but I have called you friends. John 15:15
Friendship involves sacrifice Greater love has no one that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13
The most important question: “Are you a friend of God?” |

Costco has a great “returns” policy. It is very generous. You can return virtually anything, for any reason, and get a refund. This was put to the test earlier this year.
On January 4, 2018 a woman in Santa Clarita, CA trudged into the local Costco lugging a large, dead, “real” Christmas tree. She made her way through the returns line until she stood before the customer service representative. “I’d like to return this tree.” When asked why, she responded. “Because it’s dead.”
The other customers waiting in line were blown away. One of them, Scott Bentley, took a photo of the lady and her disheveled tree. “I can’t make this stuff up,” he posted on Facebook below the photo.
Time magazine carried the story. In the article it says: “. . . most people tend to accept that trees — once cut down for decorative holiday purposes — have a finite life span. . . . But others seem less willing to accept this unfortunate fact of life.”
It is a fact of life. Roots and fruits are inseparable. Roots and life and flourishing are all inextricably linked. Today Jesus will make this clear to us in John 15:1-11.
